How to do it

Lower your chest to within an inch of the floor on every repetition.

    Begin in a standard push-up position.

  2. 2

    Lower yourself to the ground and as you push up, walk one hand out to the side.

  3. 3

    Perform another push-up and walk your hand back to the starting position.

  4. 4

    Repeat the movement with the other hand, alternating sides with each rep.

Expert tip

Ensure your body remains in a straight line from head to heels throughout the movement to maintain proper form and maximize muscle engagement.
